Yamaga Blanks EARLY for Mobile Travel Rods
"Early for Mobile" is a multi-piece mobile rod series consisting of 3 to 4 pieces. While focusing on portability, Yamaga Blanks has ensured that the performance does not suffer in the process. They have meticulously maintained the same feel and superior basic performance as a 2-piece rod.
It is the high basic performance of the rod that truly supports the angler’s fishing experience, and this leads to a high level of versatility in real-world use due to its portability. How can you make fishing successful with limited equipment? This question is at the heart of "For Mobile", and it is composed of three models with a concept that is unique to this series within the "EARLY" lineup.
The convenience of being able to carry the rod compactly makes access to fishing spots by bicycle or train efficient and stress-free. It is also perfect for longer trips, whether packed in a bag or trunk, making it suitable for a variety of situations. In terms of performance, the rod offers smooth casting and handling that you wouldn't expect from a multi-piece rod. It bends seamlessly, allowing for a dependable fight with power throughout the entire length of the rod.
